Management of localized anterior tooth wear: a minimally invasive approach using the Dahl concept.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Dahl concept has been widely recognized and applied in the management of localized anterior tooth wear for several decades, although its clinical implementation remains a topic of ongoing discussion. This case report describes a practical application of the Dahl concept in a patient presenting with severe wear of the lower anterior teeth, accompanied by reversible pulpitis. The report outlines a minimally invasive restorative strategy, guided by the principles of the Dahl concept, using composite resin to achieve occlusal elevation. This approach avoids extensive tooth reduction or the need for root canal therapy, thereby preserving the vitality of the anterior teeth. By fulfilling the patient's functional, financial, and aesthetic needs while minimizing invasiveness, this technique highlights the significant clinical relevance of the Dahl concept in managing localized tooth wear. It reinforces the concept's value in achieving effective and conservative treatment outcomes that prioritize the preservation of tooth structure and pulp vitality.
